Another measure of force airlines stopped flights

record at the time of this editorial, the Aeroparque Buenos Aires is a mess. Is that a surprise arrest of senior staff and Austral airlines halted flights of two airlines. Everything originates in a theoretical one of the many aviation associations, in this case the Staff Union and Professional Higher air commercial enterprise (UPSA). The Secretary General of the union, said the strike was not for "a wage claim" but "breach of failure of justice" and "Opinions of the Ministry of Labour" that support the inclusion of employees in senior posts and the implementation of "re categorization of career professionals."

Well, well, if the thread is cut as thin, in this case the long-suffering passengers who could not travel to their destinations. How long will the problems in the company re nationalized? Certainly any claim, of many unions operating in the commercial aviation in Argentina, with the pressure method now practiced, paralyzed the airline. A company which in 2010 cost Argentines, of which only a tiny portion of privileges by using their services, a whopping one and a half million dollars a day. Something that seems to ignore its staff, which strikes unannounced and other measures of force enhance its deficit.

The current climate of social unrest, is too high and forms of protest, which were once justified by the government, have become a nightmare for the normal functioning of the country.

Yesterday, the same President addressed the issue, arguing that instead of supporting his candidacy so, I'd rather not be pressured nor threatened. Cristina said: "I, the truth prefer that instead of supporting both asking to be president of the Argentine, I support a more forceful trying things can be solved without pressures or events that really create too much conflict ". These were his words in the event organized by YPF, which announced the discovery of new oil reserves in Neuquen.

The President tried to balance his speech, asking to employers that help workers to find "instrument" where they can channel their "legitimate demands" and trade unionists were warned: "These claims can not affect the rest of society and especially to those sectors that still have a job even "..." There must submit a hostage to the rest of society, "said Cristina .
Airlines
The case is very complicated. The company is legally in a very confusing situation, the process of transfer to the State was made so heavily that allowed its previous owner, the English Marsans can sue to Argentina before ICSID. The State's intervention saved it from collapse, but what was the save the English fully assume its wrong handling?. We can not ignore either, that the aviation unions were largely responsible for the collapse Company, with the avowed intention was finally re nationalization, which succeeded with trickery. But now, what is the purpose of continuing the ongoing conflict? We do not know, maybe the goal is that any economic group related to trade unionism and the government, acquire the company at discount prices.

But as things stand, airlines continue to provide bad service, passengers exposed to cancellations and delays and the Treasury, covering the high deficit.
